Question 1

How much does it cost to seal a driveway in Ottawa?

Accepted Answer

Most residential driveway sealing in Ottawa runs from about $150 to $400, depending on the size of the driveway, its condition, and whether cracks need filling first. We measure your driveway in person and give you a clear written price before any work starts. Larger driveways and those needing crack filling or oil-spot priming cost a bit more. Ask for a free on-site quote and we'll give you an exact number.

Question 2

How often should I seal my driveway?

Accepted Answer

In Ottawa's freeze-thaw climate, every two to three years is ideal. Sealing too often builds up a brittle film and wastes money; waiting too long lets water into the asphalt where winter can crack it apart. We'll tell you honestly whether yours needs it this year or can wait.

Question 3

What's the best time of year to seal a driveway in Ottawa?

Accepted Answer

Sealing season in Ottawa runs roughly from May through October, when daytime temperatures are reliably above about 10°C and there's no rain in the forecast for 24 hours. Late spring through early fall gives the sealer the warmth it needs to cure properly. We book quotes year-round and schedule the work for the right weather window.

Question 4

How long before I can drive on my newly sealed driveway?

Accepted Answer

You can usually walk on it the same evening. We recommend keeping vehicles off for 24 to 48 hours so the sealer fully cures, with the longer end of that range in cooler or more humid weather. We tell you exactly when it's ready before we pack up.

Question 5

Will sealing fix the cracks in my driveway?

Accepted Answer

Sealer is a protective coat, not a crack repair — but we fill your cracks first with hot-pour rubberized sealant as part of the sealing job. So you get both: filled, watertight cracks and a clean, sealed surface. Cracks wider than about an inch, or sunken and alligatored areas, may need patching instead, which we'll flag during your quote.

Question 6

Do you sealcoat commercial parking lots in Ottawa?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We sealcoat commercial lots, condo complexes, and laneways across Ottawa, and we schedule the work after hours, overnight, or in phased sections so your operation never has to close. Property managers get written quotes, volume pricing across multiple properties, and a single point of contact. Pair it with fresh line painting and your lot looks brand new.

Question 7

What kind of sealer do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use premium commercial-grade sealer — the same professional product used on parking lots — never the watered-down sealer sold in driveway-store buckets. On high-wear tire tracks we apply two coats for a finish that holds up. We're happy to walk you through the product options during your free quote so you know exactly what's going on your driveway.

Question 8

How do I prepare my driveway before you arrive?

Accepted Answer

Not much — that's our job. Just move your vehicles off the driveway and onto the street, and move any planters, basketball nets, or garbage bins out of the way. We handle the rest: cleaning, weed removal, oil-spot priming, crack filling, and edging. If you have sprinklers near the edge, let us know so we can plan around them.

Question 9

Are your quotes really free, with no obligation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We come to your Ottawa property, measure the driveway or lot, look at the condition of the asphalt, and give you a clear written price — at no charge and with no pressure to book. You decide if and when to go ahead. Call {phone} or request a quote online to get started.
